killing of a Doctor.

OMAHA, Neb., Mar. Particulars about
the killing of DR.. Randall in. court at Hast
ngs, Saturday show that his murderer,
young Hart, with smoking pistol in hand,
coolly walked out of the court room, no one
attempting, not even the sheriff, whom he
passed on the stairway, to arrest him. At
the time young Hart was unknown TO the
crowd. Mrs. Randall, who. evidence show
ed, had assisted her husband to ruin Ella
Hast, was in jeopardy OF her life, as threats
of lynching were freely made Immediately
after the shooting and the probability Is
that if her husband had not been shot beth
would have been mobbed and very likely
lynched. She was taken to her boarding
house, aud fully five hundred men followed
with the determination of committing vic
lence. A strong guard, however, protected
the woman, who put on suit OF her nus
bands clothes and with an escort made her
escape. She was taken to Grand Island IN
carriage with guard of twenty-five men.
Hastings people threaten TO mob her when
she is brought back for trial. No efforts will
be made to prosecute young Hart for killing
DR.. Randall. Mr.. Hart. iather of the girl'
was in the court room when the shooting
was done and Immediately after Randall
fell to the floor be rushed up and kicked
the corpse and satisfied himself that the
man was dead

fire from hue and burned TO the ground.
Five thousand gallons of whiskey with a
large quantity of rye, corn, &C., were totally

floor. He sprang from his bed and made a
desperate effort to gain his treasures, and at
the risk of life secured his trunk and fiddle
and made his escape, he knows not how.
We suppose he thought of Nero who iddled
whilst Rome burned, and he could follow
his example. The building was insured for
nearly its value and a partial insurance OF

CARDINAL TAsCHEREAU's BAsILICA.-
Cardinal Taschereau was Installed in Rome
on Saturday as pastor of the Church ofSanta
Maria Della Vittore. The ceremony at
tending the installation was very impressive,
and was witnessed by an immense congre-
cation. Besides Cardinal Gibbons and the
clergy attracted to the church, there were
present within the sanctuary proper many
other Cardinals and dignitaries of the
church. The procession was made up OF
visiting prelates, the secular and regular
clergy and students of the different colleges.
Cardinal Taschereau wore his magma cappa
and was followed by his attendant priests
and trainbearers. While the procession
was eutersg the church, the choristers
chanted grand march, which was continu-
ed until his Eminence reached the throne
prepared for him at the left of the main al.
ter. An interesting ritual followed, during
which an official of the Vatican clothed in
a violet robe assembled the throne and pre-.
sented his Eminence with Papal bull in
which the Holy Father conferred on him
the title of the Church of Santa Maria Della
Vittore. After the bull had been read the
delegate addressed the Cardinal il few
words appropriate to the occasion. lis
Eminence replied, thanking the Holy
Father and the messenger, after which his
Eminence embraced all of the priests Of the
Baslica, who knet before him. Every one
then arose, while the organ burst forth in
grand TIE Deum. At the conclusion thereof
his Emiuence advanced to the main altar
and reverently kissed the table. This con-
cuded the ceremony.

The New York Sun says "the nomination

considered in certain influential quarters"
In view of the fact that Gen. Sheridan drove

bayonet, years after the close OF the war;
his nomination, though more surprising,
would be no less popular in the South,

morable food OF 1881. All the lowlands are
now inundated, The only houses flooded
on the Bismarck side are few squatters'
shacks. From the bluffs one can see huge
cakes of ice up near the streets on Mandau.
The only method of communication be-
tween the towns is via Cheyenne aud Ogden.
The Boston syndicate property, including
Touring mill and some fifty residences !;
elevator, shops and everything south of the
track is submerged. The upper Heart
river has not yet broken. The loose ice
began running again this evening. The in
dications are that the Fort Buford rise is be-
ginning to be felt. All boats are still safe, as
is the Northern Pacific warehouse, the river
being so wide that the ice no longer crowds
them. kilograms from the western division
of the Northern Pacific say that trains are
running through to Msrdan from Portland +,
no other bridges being out.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, March 21.-Judge
Francis, of Dakota, who left Bismarck Sat-
urday and reached here to day, says the
scenes in the flooded district defy descrip
ton. Ice cakes hundred feet square were
thrown in the air several feet whenever
they struck an obstacle The force of the
current snapped cables holding the ware

long, was moved some distance and landed
high and dry. If the Missouri should now

have Mandan in full view only five miles
away, yet less accessible TO communication
than London.

THE MAJORITY of the democratic mem

They must be mistaken. Certainly the

done nothing to warrant such belief, and
until they DO, legislative action founded
